Hi
Thanks for your fantastic reply, I did find a similar filter box to the black one you had, Sad we cant get new filters for them as i would like the original look and will be better in the winter, I recognise the k & n from my ford days !

This is a picture of the plate I made to mount the K&N to the carb, once it all fitted correctly I painted it and used some instant gasket between the filter base and plate.
The 4 bolts went through the plate and filter base and picked up the origional filter mounting fixings.

Thanks for the suggestion, I want to take the top of the filter off to check which weber carb it is, Kevin if you see this can you tell me what an original gear knob should look ? someone has put a metro one on my car !

Hi Imperial21, just looking at the picture of your engine - what is the blue hosing for? I am in the process of restoring/repairing/replacing what's under the bonnet of mine and I don't have this - is it something to do with air intake?

The air filter box on my Super Minx is a metal cylinder with a short hose coming from it. I believe the hose is pointed in different directions depending on the current season (colder or warmer air).

That's the origional type filter housing for the Solex carb.
It takes an oil impregnated filter sheet which are not available hence he taking mine off and fitting the K&N. I went for proper filtration and mixture set up over originality.
